Letters Patent No. 96,429, dated November 2,1869.

. COOKING-STOVE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and. making palrt of the same.

bination and attaclnuent of a water tank, or hot-water reservoir to the front of a high-hearth cooking-stove or range, when said reservoir onwatcr-tank is constructed or provided with a hot-air chamber or flues, as more fully hereinaftersct forth. 1

In order to enable others skilled in the alt to which my invention ap 'iertains, to make and use the same,

1 will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, which form-a part of this specification, and in .which liigure l is a longitudinal vertical section, and

- Figure 2, a horizontal section of a cooking-stove,-

with my water-tank or reservoir attached.

A represents the oven of a cooking-stove or range, of which Bis the tire-place.

0 represents the reservoir or water-tanlgwhich is constructed ofcast-iron, and galvanized on the inside, and is connected with and surrounded by a cast iron case or jacket, I), so as to form a, hlot air space or chamber, 1*), around said reservoir or \vater-tank, and

the whole, as shown, is combined and attached to the front of a cooking-stove or range.

The fines G of said stove or range are extended forward, and connectedwith the chamber E, surrounding the water-reservoir, injsu'ch manner as to carry the heat forward through saidair-chamber, thereby greatly facilitating the beat-ingot water. i

There is also a hot-air space,ash-pit-, or chamber, 11, provided between the rear side of the reservoir 0 and the front plate ofthe oven A,thereby preventing the cold water that may be put in the reservoir from intertering at any time with the baking of the oven, which would surely occur were the reservoir and oven in direct contact with each other.

At each end 'of the ash-pit or chamber H, there is a chamber, I, (as seen in tig. 2,-)..-\vhich runs up either side of the tire-box B, and conununicatcs with the same by means of a grating, or equivalent devicc, M,

as showi iu tig. l.

The chamber 1', upon one side of the fire-box and ash-pit,' extends cntircly down to the flue 'G, while the chamber 1, on the other'side, does not extend down thatthr.

Near the lower extremity of this latter chamber,

there is an opening made in' the front of the stove proper, which coml'nnnicates with the chambcr. E, around the reservoir (J.

The chamber which communicates with the chamber G may also communicate with the chamber E, by an opening in the stove-front, as before described.

Upon thetop of the oven A, there is an additional plate, K, elevated slightly from the oven-top, as seen in'iig. 1, andperforated, g, at its front.

The o\'*eu-top has an opening, x, at its rear portion, which conveys t'he'air directly within the oven Afroui the fire'oox, through the perforations g, in front of the extra top plate, over the oven'.

At each side of the flue in the back of thestovc,

to the entire height ot the same, are two small doors S S, which open inward from the room to the oven.

These doors are for the purpose of temperhig the atmosphere in the oven, and cooling the extra top plate over the even. I

At the extremity of the fine, over the oven-A, there is a damper, Y, for the purpose of closing the opening to the stove-pipe, and cause the products of combustion to circulate around the lines.

When this damper is closed, the hot air will pass more freely down the chambers at the side of the tirebox,-and into the chamber E, around the water-reservoir, and the chamber G,,under the oven, and'tne chamber-oven, and at the rear of the oven.

1 do not 'wish to bo understood as broadly claiming a water-reservoir on the front of a cooking-stove.

Having thus fully descilbed my invention,

Letters Patent, i's

1. Attaching a water-reservoir upon the front of a high-hearth cooking stove or range, and providing the same with an outer chamber or flue, substantially as 2; In combination with a water-tank or reservoir, placed upon the front of a high-hearthcooking-stove, with the exterior chamber E, an interposed chamber between said reservoir and the front of the oven, substantially as set forth.

3. In combination with the fire-box B, chamber H, and reservoir 0, the employment of one or more vertical chambers I l on one or both sides of the fire-box and ashqiit, which communicate with the tirebox, and. convey hot air to the chambers E and G fiir heating the reservoir, substantially as set forth.

4. In combination with the reservoir 0 and its with the' flue or chamber-E, substantially as specified.

5. The arrangement, on each side of the vertical flue on the rear of the oven A, of one or more ver- What I claim as new, and desire to secure by chamber E, the oven-bottom flue G, connnunicating' tically-hinged doors S S, opening into the air, for the purpose of tempering the hunt in the said oven, substantially as set fortln,

'6. The combination, in a, high-hearth stove,- of the fire-hm; B, chamber H, water-reservoir G, chamber E, chamber G, and oven A, with the various communicating-fines and parts, all constructed and arranged to operate substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this 17th day of Svptember,1869. I
